Prolabs Active Optical Cable — 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28
The Prolabs PRL-100G-AOC-017 is a 17-meter active optical cable (AOC) assembly with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, supporting 100 Gbps maximum data rates over multimode fiber at 850 nm wavelength. AOC technology uses active optical components at each end to extend reach beyond passive copper cable while maintaining a low-profile, pluggable QSFP28 form factor.
Key Features
- 100 Gbps maximum data rate for high-bandwidth applications
- QSFP28 to QSFP28 connector configuration
- 850 nm multimode fiber optic technology
- 17-meter length for intra-rack and inter-rack data center connectivity
- Active optical design for lower power consumption and lighter weight vs. passive copper
- Hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor
